The top 10 most dangerous airport runways in the world have been revealed.

An airport with a railway track running through the middle of it, a runway with a 9,000 ft drop at the end, and a runway located on a beach all feature in the top 10.

New Zealand has two airports in the list, compiled by Underknown-INSH, while other locations include Japan, France, Greenland, and Scotland.

Scotland’s Barra International Airport’s runway is on the beach, meaning it can sometimes be impossible to land if the tide is in.

Take a look at the list to see which airport ranks at number one.
